The 44-45 model originally came in bigger and longer than the 46/47 model. The reissue looks the same sizing as the earlier version which I have. The 46/47 is a significantly snugger fit. One particular Japan based seller referred to the 44-45 as a jacket, rather than a blouse.

Then doubling up on each year, just in case they are never issued again before we depart the earth

I'm in for the new '41 tux... enough new features to pursuade me... and a couple of pairs of For Holding Up The Trousers suspenders / braces in the wardrobe to make sure they don't fall down... plus there's a wait... Just heard May from Seiichiro.

Ok this morning. Seems intermittent.

Belafonte x 2 / my Birks slippers, all set for family afternoon at home

Walk around the park this morning... fresh and sunny... missed this lovely place lately as I've been swamped with stuff That's my lad warming up with his athletics coach down there SCSC 43 jeans starting to get interesting Christmas trees up for sale already

Top level enablement 😁

@superfuture the site's running really slow again mate

Excellent sweatshirts 👍

Who's copping the 41s then? Jeans, jacket or tux? Seiichiro has them on pre-order

@vlad_III I thought the new '41 looked like the WW2 denim. Did you try them on? I'm interested in the fit dimensions if you have any intell? @Broark did you hear something else on the denim?

@SLAYER 183cm / 6ft wearing a FW size 44. That was the biggest size when I got this but I think they do 46 now. It's a great jacket imo for cold weather, albeit a heavy one which is good with me... though there might be a particular Sufu regular who has a strong opinion on walking around in heavy military jackets, but don't let him put you off if - or when - he pops up

This is the 33 jacket I bought OW but not washed myself yet

The buyer is on Sufu so let's see what he says 😉 😁

SOLD

Freewheelers / Orslow / Bronson / SCSC 43 with military long johns underneath / @Duke Mantee / Viberg

@LazyS lovely trio... chef's kiss! Do you have a preference of denim, and a preference for jean overall of the three? Or love them all equally? I too have all three and like them for different reasons and occasions. @Broark great denim on 37. I'm wearing / nurturing a type 1 in that fabric I got ow and have yet to wash it myself.

RIP Mani

With the trainers, I didn't even know her name was on the side - it was the moc croc, heel stitching, luxury upgrade and nice blue stripes that lured me Overall, yep it's all a bit mad out there in fashion land Back to that Prada beanie - ahem I stand corrected it's £490... move quickly lads it's nearly sold out

The trainers are defo an uplift in quality - the extra cost - yeah I'm good with it as I like them. Your lad's uptick is OTT for sure. The other day someone mentioned Prada beanies are £450. Ye what. A beanie for £450. Now that is having a laugh.

No idea what she brought!! But they're fucking ace I got them for £190 last December in a 'sale' - bargain eh! Superstar prices vary... decent versions of the same basic trainer model can be what £90 to £130. So there's a uptick on these of around £60 to £100. I love 'em so I'm happy - faux croc tick, funny exaggerated stitching around the heel tick, upgraded materials for more comfortable wearing tick, nice laces with a really nice spare blue pair tick... I'm a sucker for a nice pair of shell toes Whilst we're at it, I bought some Adidas Jabber Hi recently. I was taken by Lightening mag pic of some re-issued Jabber Hi with light blue stripes. So I went on a hunt. Vintage were OTT and trashed. Then I found some in Japan, re-issues. They would have been iirc £180 plus shipping. Non of the sellers would post with low value. Then I found a pair in Slam Jam (Italy) but with black stripes... but for £38 in the sale, iirc £50 shipped. Black stripes for £50 or light blue same shoe for £250ish. I went black, got the dopamine hit and forgot the light blue... until now...

Really good thanks mate. Both Mos Def and Talib Kweli were on top form. They did a load of old Blackstar from the first album, then a bit of their own stuff including Get By by Talib and Ms Fat Booty making a big deal of Aretha Franklin's voice. Lowkey got the crowd going well as warm up. Blackstar came out to a nice tribute to D'Angelo with Devil's Pie and they closed out with that before an encore iirc. The DJ from San Francisco was excellent but I never caught his name. I've seen Talib Kweli three times now and he's consistently good. I wanted to see Mos Def for ages - he did a show in London last year doing Madlib but we missed out. Definitely worth seeing if they come down your way Smooth

At Last / Buaisou / Canes / @Duke Mantee / Adidas x Wales Bonner / Rototo... very blue today

Watched Blackstar (Talib Kweli, Mos Def) last night in Manchester, with a surprise appearance as support from Lowkey... excellent, unlike my terrible low resolution pictures Venue was Victoria Warehouse, in clear sight of Old Trafford football stadium where Man Utd play Luckily I'd left my helmet and my drone at home so I had no trouble getting in Kapital, Freewheelers, At Last 162, @Duke Mantee, Adidas x Wales Bonner
